Malcolm Turnbull is a former Prime Minister of Australia. His memoir "A Bigger Picture," was published earlier this year.

The world, and our region, will miss the wise and steady voice Shinzo Abe brought to international affairs. He was a great friend of Australia and during the years we worked together as two Prime Ministers we developed a warm friendship based on mutual candor and trust.
